KaiVarae Russell released


Alaskan Grizzly

Recommended Posts

Anyone know what's the deal on this guy? He was KCs third round pick this year. Played CB for Notre Dame but looked as though he could play Safety in the pros. Ran a 4.4 / 40. Missed one year (2014) at ND due to "academic improprieties" and came back to play in 2015. Mike Mayock said this about Russell's suspension: "...missed the entire 2014 season with an academic issue that would have been a one-game suspension at most other schools."

 

So there are a lot of folks trying to figure out why he was released. Some think it may be that he's having a hard time with football IQ. Anyone here follow ND football and maybe know or see something that better explains this?

I follow ND but sad to say with everything I've been thru the last 2 yrs I can't say his name rings bell at all

Looks like he's off the market now that Cincy has signed him.

 

Thanks to those that answered about him. Helps get a more real perspective.

 

he was an excellent RB and WR in HS as well. ND needed CB help when he enrolled and played there his entire time. Would have been interesting to see him on offense or at safety
